It's official—UBC fees are going up.
In a statement released Monday, the board of governors
announced raises between $50 and $60, effective July 1.
AMS President Malcolm

. "a backward step"
Indefensible — Scott
By STEVE BROWN
Two graduate research students lost most of their notes
and chemical compounds in a
$14,000 fire which ruined a
Chemistry Building laboratory
early Sunday.
The fire, the largest in the
current wave of blazes on
campus, destroyed about $10,-
000 worth of equipment in the
fourth-floor laboratory.
Damage to the walls and
ceiling was about $4,000.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but believed accidental, said UBC acting Fire Chief
R. W. Rowland.
Hans Koch, second year
graduate studies, said his notes
and compounds, representing
two years' work on organic
synthesis, were completely destroyed.
''My partner, Derek Absom,
was lucky. His desk didn't
burn up, so he has most of his
notes, anyway."
Koch said the alarm was
turned in at 6:30 a.m. Sunday
by research student Tadanobu
Inaba.
Inaba used his pass key to
enter the building to get a
passport from his lab, next to
Koch's, for a ski trip across the
border Sunday.
Inaba said there were a series of loud explosions in the
lab.
UBC fire department used
corridor fire hozes and extinguishers to put out the blaze.
The old wing of the chemistry buliding, where the fire
broke out, does not have a
ceiling sprinkler system.
Koch said some research students were working in the lab
early Sunday evening.

The board's statement said
the decision to up fees was
"taken in the light of UBC's
financial requirements, the
necessity of increasing revenue from all sources, and the
availability of bursaries and
loan funds for the support of
qualified students who need
assistance."
"Students who genuinely
want a strong UBC will recognize it is their responsibility to
support their university to the

Fund will handle boost — Gage
No increase in loans
By MIKE BOLTON
No increased loan funds
will be available next year to
help needy students overcome
the $50 fee hike.
But present loan funds are
sufficient to meet the increased demands,. UBC officials
said Monday.
Dean Walter Gage said the
ceiling on the Student Aid
Loan Fund is sufficiently high
to accommodate all loan applicants.
"There has always been
enough available", he said.
He said $800,000 is available annually for loan funds.
Half of this amount comes
from the Student Aid Loan
Fund. The other half consists
of university funds and private donations.
DEAN W. GAGE
, enough available
The capacity of the Student
Aid Loan Fund is limited by
provincial legislation.
The legislation allows the
University to borrow up to
$2 million for loans from the
banks, with the loans guaranteed by the government.
Students can borrow directly from the bank if they have
an endorser and can show
ability to repay. But bank
loans are not made on a long-
term basis, say bank officials.
Students borrowing from
the Student Aid Loan Fund
need not begin repaying until
after they graduate. Both
bank and student loans bear
interest at 6 per cent per annum.
where in Canada," said Macdonald.
"I know students will recognize the board's decision as
necessary and fair."
"Further increase may be
necessary, but I believe UBC
students will accept such increases as long as the average
Canadian student is paying
more than they are."
"Students don't object to
paying their fair share, but
the board has failed to show
that 25 per cent of the operating expense is a fair share,"
said Scott.
Scott said if the board won't
conduct a probe into student
means, the AMS will.
We have the money to do
it, and a plan of how it should
be done," he said.
Scott said the board has
failed to consider the ability of
students to pay the increase,
and in doing so has reversed
its policy of making the university available to everyone.
Ralph Loffmark, Socred
MLA, said he considers it odd
that the board should release
the particulars of the fee increase before the education
estimates have been announced
by the legislature.
"Perhaps someone is trying
to stir up student feeling in

HOMER TOMLINSON
. . . for president
Homer hears
the call —
and answers
The former king of the world
has set his sights on the United
States presidency for the third
time.
Bishop Homer A. Tomlinson,
who spent hours barricaded in
Brock when he visited UBC in
1961, announced his candidacy
New Year's Day.
He will also campaign for
the Republican and Democratic
nomination.
It is his third attempt at the
post.
He is heading the slate of
The Theocratic Party. His slogan is: "Mighty man of God for
president. A man to be shelter
from the storm."
He said men of God would
take the helm of government in
every nation, in every state,
ccunty and village this year.
The 73-year-old leader is expected to face strong competition for the Democratic nomination from President Johnson.
Washington sources said
Tomlinson could! break the Republican deadlock between
Governor Nelson Rockefeller
and Senator Barry Goldwater.
Tomlinson said he had felt
the call of God to seek the presidency.
"I will conduct my campaign
entirely from the front door, of
my house," he said.

Increased grants
needed - Douglas
The federal government should drastically increase its
grants to universities, New Democratic Party leader Tommy
Douglas said Friday.
WUS offers
study plan
If not, students will find it
harder and harder to finance
;cr education, he told 1,000
students in Brock.
"The present $2 per capita
grant to universities is nothing
compared to what is needed,"
ht said.
"Students are going to find
themselves kept out of univer-
fity for financial reasons.
"It is the worst form of discrimination."
Douglas was answering a
question on the UBC fee increase. The increase of $50
was announced officially Monday.
The NDP leader also urged
otiidents to join him in a nationwide campaign to get nuclear
weapons out of Canada.
"I'm calling on all interested
groups to mobilize a great campaign to get nuclear weapons
off Canadian soil," he said.
Douglas charged that powerful lobbies were holding up progress on the federal portable
pension plan, and the National
Industrial Development fund.
"It is the most powerful
lobby I have ever seen," he
said.
He said the Liberals had promised a medicare plan as part
ol their first 60 days in office.
"We won't see it in 60 months
unless there is a public outcry,"
he said.
But Douglas praised the Literal government for putting the
business of parliament back on
an efficient basis.
He said the government
caught tip on estimates and expenditures for the first time in
two years.
"It was a very hard-working
session," he said.
Douglas said the municipal
loan fund and the establishment of the Economic Planning
Board are steps in the right
direction.
He said the ideas were taken
from the NDP's platform.
Interested UBC students can
spend a year studying in Germany, Spain, Chile or Russia
on a World University Service
of Canada Scholarship plan.
Requirements for the 1964-
65 WUSC scholarships are a
high scholastic standing and a

the country where the student
will study.
Applications open Friday,

AMS president Malcolm
Scott said if he wasn't sure of
a sweetheart arrangement between the board and the government before, he was sure
of it now.
The fact that UBC fees are
lower than the national average makes no difference, he
said. "The average is an artificial standard!"
"UBC pays more in fees

Soward on 1963:
World thinks,
avoids brinks
The world stayed far back from the brink of total war
H. Soward told the Vancouver Institute
in 1963, Dean F
Saturday.
Domestic crises overshadowed international affairs,
the head of UBC's department
of International Studies said
in his annual review of world
affairs.
But we shouldn't get our
hopes for 1964 up too high, he
said. .
"We have been spared the
experience of drawing towards the abyss of total war as
we did in 1962," he said.
No one talked of eyeball
to eyeball confrontations."
Domestic crises included the
tragic death of President Kennedy in the U.S., said Dean
Soward.
"It must be remembered
that three other heads of state
were also assassinated in
1963," he said. The other
deaths were in Iran, Togo and
South Vietnam.
Dean Soward saw the world
in 1963 as "a safer place than
it had been for years."
It was also a year marked by
new men in high places—President Johnson in the U.S., Sir
Alec Douglas-Home in Britain,
and Chancellor Ludwig Erhard
in Germany, he said.
"French President De Gaulle
reacted strongly against the
Anglo-Saxons," said Soward,
"and he is emphatic on the
greatness of France and the revival of its grandeur."
Soward said there is growing doubt in Europe that Russia will break the peace.
"The East-West test ban
treaty is not in itself of major
international significance, but
it is an important first step for
more far-reaching attempts at
international co-operation."
He said the split between
Red China and Russia may
lead to increased Chinese aggression.
The prospects for international co-operation in 1964:
"A mixture of caution and
conciliation on the part of the
great powers."

How overage?
Just when you thought you'd heard all the arguments about the fee raise, along comes someone like
George Cunningham.
With over-statement characteristic of someone trying desperately to sell something, Cunningham confided
to a Ubyssey reporter last week that the raise is necessary to turn UBC into a first-class educational plant.
Cunningham, of course, does have something to sell.
He's chairman of the Board of Governors, which sometime prior to last Tuesday decided that UBC students
could afford another $50 apiece.
But his statement about a first-class institution was
a bit hard to swallow.
In fact, with the fee raise and a somewhat increased
provincial government allotment of revenue, the best
UBC can hope to become is comfortably mediocre.
The fee raise—in fact, fee raises for the next three
years—will bring UBC's operating revenue up $o only
the average of other Canadian universities. And Canada's average universities could not even jokingly be
called first-rate.
The important fact neglected by persons—Cunningham included—is that UBC students are being forced
outright to make up money that should be forthcoming
from the provincial government.
Why, it might be asked, if UBC is striving for the
average in Canadian higher education and fees, does it
not seek average provincial assistance also?
The answer is hidden somewhere in the super-
secret dealing that goes on between the Board of Governors and the government.
The fact remains that, as indicated in the Challenge
of Growth pamphlet, the multi-colored, expensive-looking
monument to UBC's present impoverishment, the provincial government's grant to UBC next year will be
only in the neighborhood of $675 a student.
Not only is this far below the present Canadian average, but it is almost $100 below the Canadian average of
even five years ago—1958-59—when other Canadian
institutions were getting $765 per student.
And, of course, the provincial governriient's contribution now—or three years from now—will look ridiculous beside the provincial expenditure in that other
hotbed of Social Credit—Alberta.
Five years ago, the Alberta government was giving
$1,776 per student, a good two-and-a-half times as much
as UBC will be getting next year.
Charity begins ..
"We believe Mardi Gras is a time for fun and
revelry which, incidentally, raised a substantial sum for
charity."
Those are the words of the co-ordinators of this
year's Greek Week bash, Mardi Gras.
A refreshingly candid view compared to the pious
proclamations from past years to the effect that, "We're
only doing our humble little bit to help the poor, crippled
children."
That position was just a wee bit untenable when the
cynics seemed to doubt that several thousand students
went downtown and conscientiously got stoned out of
their minds just to help the crippled kiddies.
Perhaps this year's Greek Week orgynizers realize
that the altruistic motives of any socially-oriented charity
group are rather questionable, and they're only trying to
beat the cynics to the punch.
Regardless of their motives, their outspoken honesty
is really quite commendable, sort of.—R.B.
Well, how ELSE are you going to get the money to pay the
fee raise???
Tip for N.Y. tourists:
avoid upturned palms
By MIKE GRENBY
NEW YORK
New York is the richest
city in the world, a distinction, I'm sure, due to the lowly but cursed tip.
You tip the barber for cutting your hair. You tip the
waiter after having a simple
cup of coffee.
You tip the public washroom attendant if you want a
towel to dry your hands.
You even tip the theatre
usher for showing you to your
seat.
And if you don't tip, you
just don't go back to that barber or that restaurant. Unless, of course, you want to be
scalped or have your coffee
spilled into your lap.
• * •
Haircuts average $1.25-$1.50
and one is expected to leave
about a 25-cent tip. Being
from Vancouver, where such
a barbaric custom is unheard
of, I didn't even think of tipping the barber the first time
I had my hair cut.
Now I can see why I had
such a hard time getting past
him when I tried to walk out
the door.
I can go without having my
hair cut for several months,
but unfortunately I have to
eat every day. Since I must
buy my meals, I'm stuck.
• • •
Eating at the counter
doesn't mean you needn't tip;
it just means you tip less than
if you eat in a booth or at a
table.
The minimum tip at the
counter is a dime, and if the
meal costs more than 75c, it's
usual to leave 15c, and so on
up. Many times I've watched
people have coffee (which is
usually 15c) and leave a dime
tip.
Eating isn't the only necessity cursed by the tip.
Most public washrooms,
such as in the subway, cost a
nickel, so I was pleased to
find that the one at Grand
Central Station appeared to
be free.
But when I wanted to dry
my hands, I found the only
way to a towel was through
the washroom attendant. And
the only way to the washroom attendant was through
some loose change.
So now, completely oriented, I've tipped my way to dry
hands, a full stomach, and
trimmed hair.
• • •
I have 30 cents left in my
pocket and a ticket to the
1964 Ice Follies at Madison
Square Garden. Fifteen cents
for the subway gets me to the
Garden and I give my ticket
to the usher.
He takes me to my seat—
but why is he standing there,
blocking my entrance to the
row? Why is he still holding on to my ticket stub?
Oh, no! Not you too, usher.
No, I won't! No. No . . .
Oh, well, I didn't really
want to take the subway home
after the show anyway. It'll
do me good to walk those 60
blocks.

Editor. The Ubyssey:
What a dreary fellow Jack
Ornstein (Ubyssey, Jan. 17) is,
with his Point Grey scepticism
and his old fashioned ideas
about sex!
What a glum, depressing
world he offers us! Imagine it
—little white cubicles containing married couples who
equate love with bowel movements and who sip their
scnapps-and-Enovid whilst
conducting solemn, "enlightened" conversations about sex,
science and atheism in the manner of Kinsey or Havelock Ellis.
I thought such drivel went
out with the 1920's. Where's
his zest for life, his spirit of
adventure?
No, sir. Let us instead celebrate the free agent, the casual
contact, the chance encounter!
Let us recall the poetry of
beach, wall, telephone booth,
canal bank, hay-field and yes,
even back seat of discretely
parked car!
Let us revive the Dying Art
of the Knee-Trembler; the
Lost Philosophy of the One
Night Stand!
What Mr. Ornstein offers is
that last resort of the frustrated male who cannot get it any
other way—the entanglement,
the young-fogeydom of pseudo-
marriage.

I would like to point out

For one thing there are fewer strings attached to a bare-

Secondly, it seems that bare-

slightly different fashion.
Hoping, that these techniques of differentiation may be
helpful in the future anlysis of
the above. I remain,

PRESIDENT
MACDONALD
ON FEE RAISE
An open letter
to UBC students
By DR. JOHN MACDONALD
I am using the pages of The Ubyssey on the invitation
of (he editor to inform you concerning the increase in fees
which has just been announced by the Board of Governors.
The student body knows well that the financial requirements of our growing and complex university are
increasing. The students demonstrated that knowledge
last year when they supported requests for additional funds
for the university and expressed their endorsation of the
Report on Higher Education in British Columbia. I quote
from that report supported by the students:
"Clearly the task and
cost of meeting the requirements for higher education
in the years ahead are of a
new dimension. These costs
cannot be met by any single
group within society, but no
group can avoid sharing in
the responsibility."
That statement is the basis for the Board's policy.
The university is seeking and expects to receive increased
support from all the groups who contribute to its welfare.
IWe seek to achieve in a three-year period a level of support equal to the average revenue per student in Canada.
Thctt is a realistic goal.
Among the groups who contribute to the support of
Canadian universities are the students. I personally would
welcome a form of support for universities which would
eliminate student fees, but that is not the Canadian tradition. At a time when demands on universities are as great
as they now are it is likely that the tradition of students
paying fees will continue in every university in the country.
This being the case, one can ask, "How much should
the students pay?" Since we seek the Canadian average
in revenues I believe it is fair for UBC students to pay an
amount equal to the Canadian average in fees. Students
who genuinely want a strong UBC will recognize that it is
their responsibility to support their university to the same
extent as the students elsewhere in Canada.
UBC fees have been significantly lower than the Canadian average—about $75 lower in Arts and Science, lower
than the average in eight of our faculties. The announced
increases will bring UBC fees closer to the Canadian average, but will still leave a gap. If resources increase sufficiently from other sources (and the university is vigorously seeking support from all sources), further. increases
might not be necessary. If they are necessary, I believe
UBC students will accept such increases (not happily, but
with equanimity) as long as the average Canadian student
is paying more than they are.
The university is always concerned that financial limitations must not be a barrier for any qualified student
seeking entry to, or continuing in, this university. We
now disperse approximately $1 million in scholarships,
loans and bursaries to deserving undergraduate students.
The amount increases each year, and we have maintained
the resources for this purpose at a level great enough to
meet the genuine need. We will continue to do so.
I know the students will understand that what I
have said summarizes the position which the university
faces and will recognize that the board's decision is
necessary and fair.

committee, will be one of four
Canadian delegates to the WUS
International Assembly July 12
to 19.
Representatives of more than
5C nations will attend the assembly, to be held at the University of Lund in Sweden.
Other Canadian delegates
are: Dean J. F. Leddy, chairman of WUS of Canada, Prof.
Bill Hull of the University of
Manitoba, and Jean Bazin, president-elect of the Canadian
Union of Students.
To travel
CUSO on
alert for
graduates
Canadian University Service
Overseas is looking for UBC
students to work in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
Information can be picked up
at the AMS office.
They must be returned to
John Wood, of the Extension
Department, before Jan. 25.
Graduating students in any
faculty are eligible.
The students usually spend
18 months or two years in the
country to which they go.
"One year is too little time
to make a significant contribution," said Tony Best, of the
UBC committee. "The first
nine months is the learning
period."
Students are paid the local
wages, and live at the same
standard as the natives.
Many of the students serve
as teachers, although most have
had no formal education training.
There is a particular need for
French-speaking science teac-
ers.
"We also need people to fill
the 'middle gap'—the area between the highly specialized
person and the normal
worker," said Best.
Squadron Leader D. R. MacKay,
AFC, CD, was born in Calgary in
1917. A graduate of Drumheller
Higli School, he received his teachers' certificate in 1937 from Calgary
Normal School. He held Public and
High School teaching positions until
he joined the RCAF in July, 1941.
S/L MacKay took his pilot training at Boundary Bay and Calgary.
After earning his "wings" he graduated from the Flying Instructors
School, Vulcan, Alta. During World
War II he served in instructional
and supervisory capacities with flying, bombing and gunnery schools
at MacLeod and Lethbridge, Alta.,
and Paulson, Man.
In the summer of 1945, on completion of aComposite Training Course
in Toronto for adminstrative training, he became Adjutant at the Navigational School, Rivers, Man. Later
that year, on disbandment of Station
Rivers, he was transferred to the
RCAF's detachment of the Defence
Research, Experimental Establishment, Suffield, Alta., for administrative and flying duties.
S/L MacKay's next move was to
Tactical Air Command Headquarters, Edmonton, in 1948, as staff officer responsible for recruiting advertising and publicity in the central and western regions. In 1952
he assumed his present assignment
in Directorate of Personne] Manning,
Air Force Headquarters, where he
supervises recruiting advertising and
publicity for the Air Force.
S/L MacKay will visit the campus
Thursday, Feb. 14th, to interview
graduating students interested in
career opportunities in the RCAF. Page 6

The win left the Birds one

Oaks have played three more
games .than the Birds.
Playing on a muddy field the
slowed down Birds used a combination of short pass patterns and tight defensive checking as they controlled the ball
most of the game.
At the half the Birds had a
3-0 lead on two goals by Jim
Berry and a single by Jim
Jamieson. In the second half
they added two more on scores
by Dick Mosier and Joe Alexis.
Berry's second goal was
scored on a picture play as
Jamieson passed to Alexis who
fed a low cross to Berry connecting with it on the fly and
shooting it into the lower left
corner of the goal catching
Sapperton's goalie going the
wrong way.
Goalie Don Cary was also
in top form shutting out the
Sapperton forwards and pleasing coach Jo Johnson who has
the happy problem each game
deciding which of his goalers
will play. Goalie George Reni-

Birds cant bear
to lose to Bears
By DAVE CARLSON
UBC Thunderbird basketball boys enjoyed a successful
weekend, moving from third position to a first place deadlock in the WCIAA.
The Birds knocked off the
previously undefeated University of Alberta-Edmonton Golden Bears twice.
Friday night, UBC won 51-
34. Dave Way, with 16, and
Ken McDonald, with 14 points,
were high scorers for the
Birds. The only Bear to score
in double figures was Darwin
Semotiuk with 10 .
UBC led by a close 25-24
margin at the half time.
In the second contest, the
Bears bowed by a score of
57-48. Star quarterback cum
guard Gary Smith poured in
18 points, and reliable Semotiuk added 11.
Dave Way paced the Birds,
the big pivot plunked 17
points. Ken McDonald, replacing injured Dave Osborne for
the series, added 12 more
points. Ron Erickson hit for
10.
Once more it was a second
half blitz that produced the
victory. U. of A. led 35-30 at
half time.
UBC and the University of
Saskatchewan now hold down
first place with identical 5-1
records. U. of A.-Edmonton follows with 4 wins and 2 losses.

EYE VIEW
OF BIRDS
Ey DAVE CARLSON
It has been suggested that
UBC "look ambitiously at
the Big Six." This is strictly
bilge.
Before UBC could even
think of going big league, the
provincial government would
have to drastically alter the
entire school system.
It is a fact that the higli
schools of B.C. act -as^a- farm
systerq for this university.
iThje function of the farm
system is to develop players
for the parent team.
The calibre of athletics
played in B.C. high schools
cannot even compare with
that of the U.S.
Vancouver College plays
probably the best high school
football in B.C. Matched
against even a mediocre
Washington State team, VC
is lucky to win.
The situation is the same
for basketball, and much
worse for baseball.
If an increased concentration on sports in the high
schools were adopted in B.C.,
high paid coaches would have
to be sought. Most of these
would come from the U.S.
• • *
At the present time, UBC
would have to attract top
athletes from south of the
border. To do so would mean
offering lucrative athletic
scholarships.
UBC is one school that
certainly cannot afford to
waste money on athletics.
Fees are being increased at
the moment to help raise our
teaching standards, and to
build much needed facilities.
To use such funds just to give
the university a big name in
athletics would be nonsense.
• • •
In basketball, for instance,
UCLA defeated Oregon State,
who beat UBC by 40 points.
And UBC has probably the
best college basketball team
in Canada made up entirely
of Canadian players.
It may be true that UBC
should get out of the WCIAA,
but to join the Big Six is
fantastic.
It was also cited that UBC's
basketball loss to Linfield
College (enrolment 518) was
a disgrace. But it just happens
that Linfield is a so-called
renegade college.
It will accept athletes, no
matter how intelligent they
are. Linfield's star player had
D marks throughout high
school. Under these circumstances, UBC could lose to a
college with an enrollment of
ten.
• • •
Similarly, mention was
made of the drubbing handed the same UBC basketball
squad by the Seattle Pacific
Falcons. (Seattle Pacific has
an enrollment of about one-
quarter of UBC's).
Coach Peter Mullins ex
plained it: "Seattle Pacific
is weaker than last year, and
we beat them last year. The
reason we lost is that we were
too tired. (It was the team's
third game in as many
nights.) It was my fault for
scheduling so many game*'
together."
Puck team given
Regal blackball
By GEORGE REAMSBOTTOM
The 'high-powered Thunderbird pucksters regained
their scoring touch as they shot home five goals Sunday.
Unfortunately their opposition managed to score 12.
KEN CAIRNS
. . shoots low
Gillespie
breaks own
swim record
Bill Gillespie broke his own
week-old record for the 200
meter back stroke during the
weekend swim meet against
Oregon State University.
Gillespie's 2:32.1 record was
dropped to 2:29.7 in Empire
Pool Saturday when Oregon
whipped UBC 58-35.
Other UBC records which
went for a tumble were executed by Dave Smith who smashed team-mate Powly's week-
old record of 6:36.8 in the 500
meter freestyle with a 6:29.1.
Powly bettered his own time
with a 6:31.7.
The foursome of Gillespie,
Brian Griffiths, Jim Pearce
and Bill Campbell set a new
record for the 400 meter medley race recording a 4:31.6
beating the old time by 4.4
seconds.
Winners of the Blackball
trophy were the Powell River
Regals, a fine intermediate
team which outscored UBC 15-
8 in the two game total goal
series.
The first game, played in
Powell River, ended in a 3-3
tie.
S u n d a y's game at the
Thunderbird Sports Centre
entertained 200 fans with 17
goals.
Both teams featured the five
man rush which either resulted in a goal or a quick
comeback for the opposition
UBC scorers were Ralph
Lortie, Ken Cairns, Dave Mor
ris, Bob Parker and Peter
Kelly.
Cairns' goal was the best of
the night as he rushed from
his own end, stickhandling
around each Regal player at
least once and then whipped £
low shot past the Powell River
goalie.
An anxious moment camf
for the Birds when their top
forward Peter Kelley was accidentally cut an inch above
his eye by a stick. But Kelly
was driven to UBC hospital,
stitched up and back for the
third period.
Vies squeezed
in squash play
UBC squash champions defeated arch-rival Victoria Col
lege 4-2 in their weekend
tournament.
Royal Roads and Shawnigan
didn't show for the Saturday
tournament in Jericho Tennis
Club.
Set winners for UBC included Manager John Gibson,
Steve Williams, Dave Scarth
and Clark Shea.
Winners for Victoria College
were John Creighton and Pete
Julesburg who defeated UBC's
George Hungerford and John
Osborn respectively.
SOS call goes out
for team managers
Managers are needed for
most of the University extramural teams and Men's
Athletic President, Dave
Whitelaw is asking for
volunteers.
He tells the sports editor
that the essential qualities do
not include being a con-man.
No experience is necessary. Any men interested are
asked to contact Mr. R. J.
Phillips in the Athletic Office in War Memorial Gym.
Thunderettes
blank Portland
UBC Thunderettes basketball team took eight players to
Portland last weekend but defeated their Senior A team 48-
36 and 30-28 in exibition
games.
Injuries and ineligibility disqualified the other members
of the UBC team.
Diane Bond and Barb Robertson were high scorers.
UBC jerks
pull weight
at open meet
UBC lifters showed good
form at Saturday's open meet.
Klaus Hallschmidt set a
record in the clean and jerk
for the 181 pound class with
290 pounds.
Coach Andy Hinds, B.C.
champ, won the 148 pound
class and second in the overall rating.
Jack Christopher (lone
heavyweight) set a new clean
and jerk record with 288
pounds.
Vince Basile set a new
curl record with 155 pounds.
Other winners were Geroge
Tsoi-a-sue, Raleigh Whitlinger,
Des Tromens, Deiter Stamm.
Paul Truant, one of UBC'~
promising lifters, was third in
the 181 pound class.
John Minechello, ex-UBC
coach, was one of the judges.

What's doing
in Aluminum
SMELTING?
More—much more—than meets the eye: the technology of
producing aluminum in our smelters is constantly changing.
Talented graduates in extractive metallurgy, chemical and
many other branches of engineering—experiment with and
develop new processes and design new technical controls.
They are responsible for the transforming, plant distribution
and rectification of electricity; the electrolysis of alumina
by the Hall & Heroult process; the production of carbon
electrodes and the casting of aluminum and its alloys. In
addition they may be involved in project, maintenance and
industrial engineering. Graduate chemists will also find
interesting careers in such fields as control, development
and research. Indeed—there's a lot doing in the five aluminum smelters we operate across Canada:
• At Kitimat, B.C.: (where our picture, showing a crucible filled
with molten aluminum, was taken): 192,000 tons installed
capacity of aluminum ingot per year.
•At Arvida, Quebec: 373,000 tons installed capacity of aluminum
per year.
• At Isle Maligne, Quebec: 115,000 tons installed capacity of
aluminum ingot per year.
• At Shawlnigan, Quebec: 70,000 tons installed capacity of alu
minum ingot per year.
• At Beauharnois, Quebec: 38,000 tons installed capacity of alu
minum ingot per year.
Please ask your Placement Officer
for an appointment to meet
the Alcan representatives on
January 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th
